In Situ Observing systems

The main data network that are needed for operational modellisation of the ocean are: 

• Temperature and salinity data from VOS (XBT) collected within Mersea in the Mediterranean, and routine data (XBT, TSG) collected from European research vessels (coordinated through Mersea).
  
  

• Sea surface temperature measurements from outside programs like SOOP/GOSUD, but also from the European research vessels.
  
  

• Multidisciplinary variables like chlorophyll and oxygen from timeseries moorings, both the Mersea operated ones (North Atlantic and Mediterranean), and others from public sources; profiling floats equipped with bio-geochemical sensors (through other projects) ; VOS observations from other projects (e.g. Carbo-Ocean).

Plateform	Image	short description
Floats		40 floats will be  deployed in Arctic,   Antarctic and Atlantic Oceans
Timeseries		3 mooring sites will be deployed and maitaied to provide biochemical data in Atlantic Ocean The M3A mediteramean network dvelopped for MFSTEP project will be extended to Mersea needs
Research Vessels		Data collection in realtime from European research vessels
Gliders		Demonstration of new technology with gliders deployment
